**Sweet Nothings**

Yesterday it was raining so hard early in the morning. I threw the white big door open and plunged into the misty rain. I half jogged and half walked to the bus stop, waited for a few minutes and saw the bus approaching. I hopped on. Silence. Time passed a little. Then a loud noise. The sounds of the trains approaching. I hopped off the bus and got on the subway. I was reflecting on how good I felt going to work, I had been searching for something like this, but alas my search was over! A shouting testimony! And this was only just the beginning. One day I will be telling the full story to the Nations...from a roof-top.

So back to the train. I opened my book and started flipping pages. In some quick seconds, my eyes began to twitch and flutter. Out of the corner of my left eye I saw them. They were standing with their bodies leaning against each other. And he was whispering what I call romantic "sweet nothings" into her ears. Sweet, sweet, nothings. But she was blushing so those words must really have been sweet. Lol.

He was the lover and she was his beloved. As usual, my mind flipped for a second towards my Lover. My Knight in shining armor, who is also incidentally the Uncreated Creator. I began to distinguish his love. You see, human beings can whisper lots of words, especially in the excitement of the moment. But God is not like that. Every word He speaks MUST surely be true and must come to pass. He has declared His love for us in so many ways. Only this time, they weren't sweet nothings...they were just really sweet! He's been known to say words like,"Behold I will allure [you], bring you into the wilderness, and comfort you (Hosea 2:14)." He also calls you the "apple of His eye," (Zechariah 2:8); He calls you "His bride" while He refers to Himself as "the Bridegroom." (Rev 19:6-8).

The lips of men are sometimes filled with romantic and beautiful sweet nothings, but God offers so much more. He told the woman at the well, "When you taste my water, you will never thirst again." Sometimes our physical bodies ache for the love of another human being. But as far as we remain human, we will always thirst for something more. Our bodies cannot be completely satisfied by the love of another human being. Yes, our other halves may mean what they're saying. But because of their flesh they will get weak sometimes in fulfilling those words. So what can bring pure satisfaction? Look towards the hills...

ok, ok. no more fooling around. this is really nice. particularly d part abt God whispering sweet everythings into our ears. hmmmm. i dey try o. just last year i was almost an atheist. dis year, i don dey believe true true o. Thank God o

Free-flowing Florida...lollll...I feel like jumping at what u just said...lolll...so happy for you!!! :)

Afrobabe...ha ha ha. On Valentine's day I think I made some hints about my current sweet-heart, not quite sure. I AM in love! But God still completely quenches the thirst...lolllll...(see, I can talk a lirrule abt such things, just not too much I guess...he he he...afrobabe the mischievious lady)

LG...enuff efizzyyy!!! I'm loaded with school work at the moment. And exams. And work. It is well...lol. How na?

Mimi.......my second booooooo...how are u doing? How's he *wink*? Did u know there's a song that says those exact words: "only You can SATISFY!" I think I had it playing on my blog not too long ago...beautiful, beautiful lyrics!

Okrika girl...I know right? It's not like we don't mean it. But it's fulfilling every word thats the difficulty!

In my own words...Amennnn. What u said in my last two posts also blessed me (I prob couldn't find the right words to reply...lol). May God bless you and may your relationship with Him truly BLOSSOM. You will be surprised at what God can do with your life...there's nothing too difficult for Him.

Darkelcee...Yessss...He loves us too much for that! If he forced us to do anything, we would only be like a bunch of robots...

Abbie...u're welcome dearie...

Olamild...right back at you girlie!!!! How body dey naw?

Simi Speaks...I'm laughing soooo hardddd!!! Lolll. 23 is not as young as u make it seem, well...maybe "relatively." I think I heard the knock a lot of times, and I finally opened it. I've done some "bad" things too in my life now, like everyone else...lolll...I know u don't want to open my behind on blogger! But I prayed for forgiveness, and I've been received back as a prodigal child...never again! If you email me with a specific question, I can reveal my personal testimonies to you. I believe God allowed some trials to come my way so I can testify about them while shouting on a roof-top...:) Still wanna hear somn bad I've done before???

Unwritten...I found my other half last yr...lolllll!!!! But both of us are still human, and though our words are sweet to each other, they really can't compare to God's words to us. They are sweet nothings but God's words are "sweet everythings" *wink*

i love that u love the Lord. Thanks for an uplifting message. We tend to forget how deep and true that love is sometimes. We often trample on that love...but thank God for his mercies! His mercies endure for ever.

i love how you started with the image of lovers on a train. it was beautiful, but not nearly as beautiful as the love God extended to us (Christ) even when we were not receptive of it (as sinners). Lovely

aweee.. I love this post.. and I love that verse ""Behold I will allure [you], bring you into the wilderness, and comfort you (Hosea 2:14)." Girl you are a writer no doubt... I pray God keeps increasing you, giving you the gift of beautiful words, representations and meanings to keep making Him famous.. Much luv
